During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Sanjay Agarwal at UCSD?

He wasn't incredibly personable or warm. I felt like he had a large patient load and I often felt like I was asking too many questions and keeping him from other patients.

I always received a thorough and quick response from Amanda. She was very easy to work with.

What specific things went wrong at UCSD?

Provided conflicting information

Failed to convey critical information

Scheduled the wrong procedure

How was your experience with Sanjay Agarwal at UCSD?

I appreciated that Dr. Agarwal presented the options to me and didn't push one or the other. He seemed to grasp how difficult the decisions were for us to make. One thing that really was off putting was that he didn't share with me what certain imaging results were and didn't seem to link together multiple tests that may be of concern.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Sanjay Agarwal at UCSD?

Make sure to do your own research and follow-up with a lot of questions.

Describe the protocols Sanjay Agarwal used in your cycles at UCSD and their degree of success.

We did one IUI, then a laparoscopy (based on my wishes). He said we could go straight to IVF, but said it might be good to try IUI first.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Sanjay Agarwal at UCSD.

The IUI was about $300, plus cost of meds and blood work. All together it was about $700. Insurance didn't cover anything.
